What I write about writing/dancing/writing.

- Abstract
Artistic writing as research is in itself a method of making for artists in the academy. As creative practitioners in performative research paradigms (Haseman, 2010) we engage with a critical dialogue with/in the practice of writing through our artistic approaches. When writing and carrying out research, I propose that the artist adapts to an approach in line with their discipline(s). For me, this is in dance/theatre scholarship and practice; where writing may occur in tandem with disciplinary choices, provocations, prompts and interrogations. I’m reflecting on the durational performance research project I’m writing while dancing and writing. The project titled Move contextualises iterative processes of dance improvisation while writing/dancing/writing with human and more-than-human partners, during the isolation necessitated by the Global Pandemic. The camera-dancer dyad1 instigates provocations shooting still and moving image clips while improvising in-the-moment as part of writing and dancing as processes. Subsequently, the camera-dancer dyad process also archives three years worth of still and moving images as an ageing dancer. While advocating for ageing dancers to be visible, the lack of access to fellow collaborators and performance opportunities forced me to adapt while making and writing during the Global Pandemic.
